00:33:06.000To follow right now if you're not already, make an account, follow this channel, because we're going to be here for a little while.
00:33:14.000We might as well just dive right into it.
00:33:16.000You know, it's a little bit different than normal shows.
00:33:19.000Typically, we're going to dive into the news and things like that, but obviously, we have a change of scenery this evening.
00:33:26.000So, the first thing we're going to talk about on the show, and this will probably be, I don't know if this will be the main thing we'll talk about, but I will just sort of clarify everything that has transpired on YouTube.
00:33:38.000What the program is going to be going forward.
00:34:14.000So, I might as well just go over the story.
00:34:17.000So, about a week and a half ago, I got a strike on YouTube.
00:34:22.000You get three strikes on YouTube, but really, actually, it's like four because you get a warning and then you get three strikes.
00:34:29.000And so, I don't think I told anybody this, but on New Year's Eve, YouTube flagged two of my videos.
00:34:36.000They flagged the video, one of my shows that took place after the Donald Trump Jr. protest at UCLA.
00:34:43.000If you remember, that was one of our biggest shows ever.
00:34:45.000That was my first video to surpass 100,000 views.
00:34:49.000It was at 109,000, I think, at the time it got deleted.
00:34:53.000But that video, after the Don Jr. UCLA event, that got flagged, as well as on the same day, a video that I had deleted.
00:35:02.000So not too long ago, I went through and not only did I private every video I've made, with the exception of, I think, the last 30 videos or so, but I went through and I deleted every single one.
00:35:14.000Except for what's on my channel right now.
00:35:16.000So they flagged not only the Don Jr. UCLA video, but also a video that I had deleted like three or four weeks ago.
00:35:22.000They flagged them both on the same day, and the message I got from YouTube was basically that because the two flagged videos were flagged and deleted within such a close proximity in terms of time, that they were counting that as one infraction.
00:35:39.000The two videos getting flagged were packaged as one infraction, and so I got a warning.
00:36:41.000So now there are something like 450 videos that they can flag for hate speech and give my channel strikes, but they cannot receive an appeal for them.
00:36:53.000Because they can't review them because the content's deleted.
00:36:57.000So, in a way, I might have made my situation worse by deleting all the videos, you know?
00:37:02.000So, at this point, I've basically come to terms with the fact that if I got two videos flagged on New Year's Eve, I got another video flagged on Friday, they're flagging videos that I've deleted, not just privated, not just unlisted, but deleted.
00:37:18.000If I got three videos flagged in rapid succession like that in two weeks, and that's, you know, because of the new community guidelines policy that went into place in December.
00:37:28.000Then I imagine that strikes two and three are not far behind, right?
00:37:32.000So the situation right now is that because I got strike number one, that means that I cannot upload, post, or stream on YouTube for a week.
00:37:42.000So that penalty will expire on Friday, which means that we'll be doing America First on this channel until Friday at the minimum.
00:37:50.000What I'm thinking is in the medium term, the short to medium term, is that I will simply multi stream the show.
00:37:58.000So for this week, the show will be exclusively on DLive.
00:38:02.000Now, if I don't get any other strikes on my YouTube channel, if they don't flag any other videos between now and Friday, then on Friday the penalty will be lifted, and on Monday I will stream the show on YouTube, and I will also stream it on DLive.
00:38:16.000I will stream it on both at the same time.
00:38:19.000But obviously for this week, I have to exclusively stream it here because I'm banned for this week on YouTube.
00:38:25.000If I get a second strike, I think the penalty is two weeks no streaming, and then the third strike means I'm done.
00:38:33.000The third strike means my channel is deleted.
00:38:35.000That was development number one, okay?
00:38:40.000That's the appetizer strike number one, you know, a warning and a strike, three videos flagged, and we have to see what happens with further strikes.
00:38:50.000Two means two weeks, and the third strike means the channel is deleted.
00:39:57.000The super chats are banned off of my channel.
00:40:00.000So that means that when I come back on Monday, or if I come back on Monday, I should say, if I return to YouTube on Monday, you know, barring another strike, On my channel, I still won't be able to have super chats.
00:40:13.000I have to wait 30 days, and after 30 days, I can reapply to become a YouTube partner, which means that monetization will be re enabled.
00:40:22.000So at this point in time, no streaming, no uploads, no posting.
00:40:26.000That expires on Friday, barring another strike coming down.
00:40:30.000And then once I return, it's no monetization.
00:40:32.000I have to wait 30 days until next month to then reapply.
00:40:36.000And the strike against my channel right now, I cannot appeal, and it does not expire until April.
00:40:44.000So, all of this is to say, the writing is on the wall for the show.
00:40:51.000We have had scares like this for years.
00:40:55.000I have been telling you, we don't know how much longer we have together.
00:40:59.000You know, I thought it might have been it last summer when all that demonetization stuff happened initially with Carlos Maza and Steven Crowder.
00:41:09.000There have been a number of community guidelines changes, there have been a number of purges.
00:41:14.000You know, people thought that the December 7th guidelines.
00:41:18.000Going into effect would have had everybody purged overnight.
00:41:21.000Everybody thought that if the guidelines change on December 7th, then that means that everybody's banned by the morning on December 8th.
00:41:29.000Well, it didn't work out like that, but it seems that it's finally happened.
00:41:32.000You know, my imagination, my prediction is that because this strike doesn't expire until April, if I've already got three videos flagged in two weeks, then that means that I would have to have no videos flagged for three months.
00:41:49.000To wait for that first strike to expire and then my channel's in good standing.
00:41:52.000And even in the meantime, I don't have monetization.
00:41:55.000To me, it's pretty clear that strikes two and three are not far behind, which means our time on YouTube is extremely limited.
00:42:01.000I would say that April by the latest, but probably February by the soonest, could happen tomorrow.
00:42:28.000I will take the time now to shamelessly plug.
00:42:31.000Remember, if the show gets banned on YouTube permanently, the only way you're going to find out what the long term solution for this problem is, is if you sign up for the email list.
00:43:54.000I mean, there's like a big like 1,000 year plan and like Jedi style prophecy, 1,000 year plan.
00:44:00.000But I mean, the plan for the show, you'll receive all the details about where to find the show, what's going to happen after I get banned from YouTube, only if you sign up for the email list.
00:44:39.000With that out of the way, I want to just give you a little update on how DLive works.
00:44:44.000You know, a lot of people who watch my show only watch it on YouTube.
00:44:48.000If you're new to DLive, you probably don't know how it works.
00:44:51.000It's pretty straightforward and simple.
00:44:53.000I mean, if you're watching this right now on DLive, it's very much like YouTube in the sense that you've got your player, you've got your live chat.
00:45:01.000The only thing that is slightly different is the super chats.
00:45:14.000You will buy so many lemons for five bucks, ten bucks, whatever.
00:45:19.000And then you can donate the lemons to a streamer.
00:45:21.000So it's sort of like a different process than YouTube.
00:45:24.000From what I understand with YouTube, you click the super chat button, you put in the amount you want to donate, and then you donate directly.
00:45:31.000On DLive, you have to buy the lemons first.
00:45:36.000One lemon is, I think, 1.2 cents, an ice cream is 12 cents, a diamond is $1.20, a ninja genie, I think, is $12, and then a ninjat is like 110 or 120.
00:45:50.000That's basically how it breaks down the way I think of it.
00:45:53.000A penny, a dime, a dollar, $10, $100 going from lemon, ice cream, diamond, ninja genie, ninja.
00:46:01.000These are very silly names, but that's how it works.
00:46:03.000You buy the lemons and then you take the lemons, you give them to the streamer.
00:46:06.000You can attach a message, and what I will try to do on DLive is take the messages on the lemons and read those off as super chats.
00:46:14.000It's a little tricky because on YouTube they accumulate and I can read all of them.
00:46:19.000You know, it'll have a feed on YouTube where it shows every super chat throughout the stream.
00:46:26.000I will have to basically take them live.
00:46:28.000So, when it's like, whenever I finish talking about the news and I say, okay, we're going to read off Ninja Genies or whatever, then that is when you have to send them so I can read them as they come in.
00:47:20.000Because I have a political show that has controversial views, it's required of me that I put on an X tag, which is basically just like viewer discretion.
00:47:29.000So, if you want to see me on the homepage of the website, you have to go into your settings and Click off and say you want to see X rated content.
00:47:37.000And X rated, by the way, does not mean like explicit like porn.
00:47:41.000It just means like, you know, like viewer discretion.
00:47:44.000It just means that it's not for like a general public audience.
00:47:51.000I think that's everything with YouTube and then DLive and then what's happening in the meantime.
00:47:56.000I know, I do apologize, it has to be this way, but that's the way it goes.
00:48:01.000You know, this is the stupid, silly game that we have to play.
00:48:05.000Because of the political views that we hold.
00:48:09.000You know, I know this is not groundbreaking, studio shaking takes here, but we know that if you go against the approved talking points, if you have a style that goes against what is acceptable, then you can't have a bank account and I can't talk to you and I can't order Ubers.
00:48:28.000I haven't gotten banned from Uber, but that does happen to people.
00:48:31.000So these are the silly games that we have to play.
00:48:34.000You have to chase me all over the internet.
00:48:36.000The good news is a long term solution is coming, it's been in the works for a long time.
00:48:40.000And it seems like it'll be ready just in time.
00:48:42.000It seems like, you know, trust the plan, trust the big man's plan.
00:48:47.000I will say about this whole affair, you know, we've been expecting this for a long time.
00:48:52.000I've been expecting to be banned off of YouTube for as long as I've been doing this show.
00:48:59.000So we're coming up on three years of doing this show.
00:49:02.000I started doing the show February 2017, so it's been nearly three years.
00:49:07.000And frankly, I thought I was going to be banned like, In 2017, like before the show even started, I assumed our time on YouTube was extremely limited.
00:49:17.000So I have to say, you know, a lot of people have been disappointed or upset that I got banned on YouTube, but I will tell you that it's really not a shock to me.
00:49:54.000All things considered, I think I had a really good run on YouTube.
00:49:58.000And beyond that, I think it's very serendipitous the timing that I got banned.
00:50:03.000We should all consider ourselves lucky because when you think about it, if I had gotten banned last summer, when everybody else got banned, right?
00:50:11.000When that whole purge happened, James Alsop, the Steven Crowder thing, whatever.
00:50:17.000If I had gotten banned all the way back then, Groyper Wars would have never even happened.
00:50:22.000If I had gotten banned in October or November, Groyper Wars would have been cut short.
00:50:28.000So, all things considered, the Groyper Wars was like the breakout moment of America First, of American nationalism, this fledgling movement.
00:50:36.000I don't want to say fledgling, it's like burgeoning.
00:50:40.000It's growing, it is bursting at the seams, overflowing with support.
00:50:45.000It is after all of that, you know, built up and then transpired and then was completed.
00:50:51.000I mean, we really saw that whole thing not only rise over the course of several years, but, you know, then we saw it happen and we saw it through to the end, saw it through all the way to December 18th when we had the Groeper Leadership Summit.
00:51:04.000You know, to me, we should count ourselves extremely lucky.
00:51:08.000It is almost providential, the coincidence there that just as the Groeper Wars was completed, the epilogue closing the chapter.
00:51:16.000That is the time when I got banned for videos that had been deleted, right?
00:51:41.000I know it's like cringe to say that, you know, a lot of people probably watch this show on their commute or whatever, but it's like my job, you know, it's like my industry.
00:51:50.000In the same way that wage slaves have to commute every day to, like, I don't even know, sell insurance, sell trinkets, widgets, you know, whatever.
00:51:59.000I don't even know what you do for eight hours a day.
00:52:01.000Seems like a lot of hours every day, five days a week.
00:52:05.000In the same way that you do that, I do this.
00:52:08.000And I have to tell you that I am, on the one hand, blackpilled that we have no future on social media.
00:52:16.000On the one hand, I am very pessimistic about this specific aspect of it that YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all the major platforms are going to become completely inhospitable in the very near future.
00:52:31.000And you might say, well, they're already inhospitable.
00:52:45.000Since the election, there has been, and even before that, but it really kicked into high gear during the, or rather after the election, there has been a very deliberate and willful attempt to eliminate everybody from this dissonant right space to basically deforest the entire right wing ecosystem.
00:53:02.000We remember right after the election, what did they say at Google headquarters?
00:53:08.000They said, we need to make sure this will never happen again.
00:53:11.000And not to tie our fates totally alongside with Trump's, but I think that's where the agenda comes from.
00:53:16.000There's been a concerted plan, like an agenda, executed deliberately by design over the course of the last three to four years to get rid of everybody before 2020, coinciding with elections.
00:53:30.000And so, on the one hand, I'm pessimistic about our fate on the big platforms.
00:53:34.000I am optimistic, big picture, though, because I will tell you that this did start like probably 2015.
00:53:41.000I would say that the modern iteration of social media censorship really kicked off in 2015.
00:53:47.000A few high profile bannings like Andrew Anglin, Pax Dickinson, Miley Yiannopoulos, Chuck Johnson, Daily Stormer.
00:54:33.000Now you can see that there are alternatives.
00:54:36.000There aren't a lot of great alternatives, but there are alternatives.
00:54:40.000We have built up alternatives on other platforms where even if we're constantly being chased, it seems like we're in this transitional state where At the very least, we have survival.
00:54:50.000The new frontier for the 2020s is going to be surviving off of the big platforms.
00:54:59.000You know, in a way, we've been talking a lot about like ecosystems, typically in the context of the Overton window.
00:55:05.000You know, I've said about like Darren Beatty, I've said about myself, I've said about Donald Trump, a lot of these characters, in the context of politics, that if we can make it, then that will blaze the trail for other people like us to make it.
00:55:19.000In other words, I've said, like, for example, Darren Beatty.
00:55:22.000Got fired from the White House, as one example, because he went to the, what was it, whatever conference where Peter Brimelow spoke.
00:55:30.000And I said, if Darren Beatty lands on his feet and he does good, or he does well rather, that shows that other people can be America First, immigration restrictionists, other people can associate with Peter Brimelow or whatever, indirectly, directly, and not get fired.
00:55:46.000And the more people that are okay doing that, the more we'll associate, the more we'll have those views.
00:55:56.000I can make it off of the big platforms.
00:56:00.000If I can make it and still be relevant and still have a loud voice off of Twitter, off of YouTube, off of all these different platforms, then that will be a viable path for us.
00:56:11.000You know, the reason that people are so terrified of big tech is because for the longest time, if you get banned, well, then that means that you don't have a voice.
00:56:19.000If we get banned and we continue to be relevant, we continue to have a voice and so on, an audience and all that, well, then that eliminates the fear, that eliminates the stranglehold, that eliminates the checkmate that they have on us currently that they have a monopoly on.
00:56:34.000The political conversation because they control the platforms.
00:56:40.000That is the end game, is ultimately to build something off the platforms and not just survive there, but to thrive.
00:56:46.000And we're already seeing that happen, by the way.
00:56:49.000We're seeing that happen with Sam Hyde.
00:56:51.000We're seeing that happen with Andrew Clavin.
00:56:54.000We're seeing that happen with a lot of people, it seems like, or increasingly more people that get banned, but yet they are able to remain out there.
00:57:02.000And so that is the future of America First.
00:57:04.000If you think that America First is going to be Mainstream right away, and we're going to exist on the platforms.
00:57:26.000We can never get too comfortable with the media, never get too comfortable with the social media platforms, anything like that.
00:57:33.000Every time we think we're getting over, every time we think that we're Penetrating, they're going to throw up an obstacle like this.
00:57:41.000You know, just when we make the big break, Groyper Wars, oh well, we'll pull the plug on the platform.
00:57:46.000Well, we just simply have to circumvent that and find a new way.
00:57:50.000And we will do that because that's how we did the show to begin with.
00:57:53.000You know, when I started the show, this deplatforming stuff was already underway.
00:57:57.000And I had already been subject to the attacks by the media, by right wing watch, the hit pieces, media matters, and that didn't work, so they banned me.
00:58:07.000I don't think that's going to work either.
00:58:10.000That's a struggle basically for the next like 10 years.
00:58:12.000I don't know if I'll be doing the show for 10 years, but that is going to be the question is about the platforms and if they really have monopoly on the political conversation.
00:58:22.000So obviously there is more on that next week.
00:58:26.000I am building something behind the scenes.
00:58:28.000It's not really anything like elaborate, it's not really anything like it's going to be basically straightforward.
00:58:34.000I don't want to give away too much here, but it's going to be a longer term solution to the problem of censorship because I'll tell you.
00:58:41.000And there's the last thing I'll say about it, and then we'll move on.
00:58:44.000The problem with the big tech monopoly is not simply that they can pull the plug, it's not simply that they can ban somebody like me at will arbitrarily for no reason.
00:58:54.000Maybe even a bigger problem is the self censorship.
00:58:58.000And a lot of people said this after I got banned.
00:59:00.000They said, like, good, because now it means that you'll be able to say whatever you want.
00:59:05.000Now, I will contest the claim that it's a good thing I got banned from YouTube.
00:59:11.000Now, maybe it's a necessary thing, but I mean, it's definitely not a good thing to be banned from the undisputed biggest video platform on the internet in the history of the world.
00:59:29.000I mean, they're trying, but I mean, let's be real.
00:59:31.000But I will say there is something to people that have said, well, it's a good thing you got banned off YouTube because maybe it means you can finally say what you really mean.
00:59:41.000And there is something to that because.
00:59:43.000Even worse than pulling the plug, it's they get us to pull the plug on our brains.
00:59:49.000They get us to pull the plug on being free thinkers and saying racial slurs and having ideological hatred.
00:59:58.000That last one is a joke, but it's true.
01:00:00.000On YouTube, you could see where language control becomes thought control.
01:00:06.000The more they modify how you talk and how you think because of their rules, the more they change your politics.
01:00:16.000And for a long time, we had to play ball, we had to play by their rules.
01:00:20.000Optics was the whole thing, partially, it's a very nuanced topic, but a lot of it was obviously presentation and appealing to normal people and so on.
01:00:30.000But another part of optics was recognizing.
01:00:33.000That for the last two or three years, the way that you get your message out is on social media.
01:00:43.000But as the rules have become more restrictive, that has restricted our ability to properly or even adequately express real political dissent.
01:00:54.000You've seen it on this show on America First for the past month.
01:00:58.000It's like I can't even talk anymore because these rules are insane.
01:01:02.000It's like you can't make fun of somebody.
01:01:19.000And in a short period of time, maybe that doesn't matter.
01:01:24.000You know, if you have to watch what you're saying, if you're in mixed company, that's one thing.
01:01:28.000And even to an extent, if you have to moderate a little bit with vulgarities, that's acceptable.
01:01:32.000But it has gotten to a point where they have.
01:01:35.000They have constructed the rules over time so that only our political viewpoints are not allowed.
01:01:42.000In other words, before it was like, okay, you can't call for terrorism, you can't call for genocide, whatever.
01:01:49.000And now it's like, if you look at the Facebook rules or the YouTube rules, it's like you can't say anything about white identity, you can't say anything about nationalism, you can't talk about the inherent prejudice of human beings, you can't talk about hierarchy, you can't talk about traditional biblical teachings.
01:02:06.000You know, if you look at the way the rules have been built, it's like explicitly to disallow now political statements, not just like vulgarities, not just calls to action, not other things like that.
01:02:16.000And so that is why we must leave the platforms, not just because they're banning us and we have to figure something else out, whatever, but because we need to preserve the integrity of the message.
01:02:28.000And the only way to do that is off of all platforms.
01:02:31.000Now, a lot of people have asked about DLive.
01:02:33.000What are the terms of service on DLive?
01:02:36.000And frankly, I'm very nervous because we've been on DLive since I think April or something.
01:03:10.000And if you read the community guidelines, it says, like, you cannot express hate for a person based on race, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disease, disability, age, physical characteristics.
01:03:35.000I mean, it's, you know who runs the show here, and you know who runs the show.
01:03:40.000They run the show with the back end services and with the money.
01:03:44.000And they basically control everything.
01:03:45.000I don't think there is an off platform.
01:03:48.000There is no platform that is immune from this kind of thing.
01:03:52.000Maybe that will happen in the future, but at least for now, there's like a few domain registrars.
01:03:58.000There's like a few payment processors, right?
01:04:02.000When you're talking about back end services like vital, you know, technical services for websites and other things, there are only so many, and they're all under the thumb of the so called specialists, you know, the hate watchers and the diversity people and so on.
01:04:19.000So, any platform is a big fat question mark as to if there's a future.
01:05:21.000Don't you understand that in a way, we really can't lose because, and this is what the plan is, by the way, is putting yourself in a position where it's difficult for you to lose.
01:05:33.000Either we remain on the platforms, and because I'm smart about optics and irony, you know, these are the two fists, these are the two guns of America first.
01:05:43.000Optics and irony, it's a lethal combination.
01:05:46.000Either we remain on the platforms, and through the use of subversive rhetorical tactics, we are able to mainstream our message and we become legitimate political actors, and then game over for leftists.
01:05:56.000You know, if Catholicism and nationalism, tribalism, nativism, if all this stuff takes off and becomes legitimized, Then the country belongs to us.
01:06:22.000They're like celebrating, woohoo, whatever.
01:06:25.000But they don't realize that if we have to be subversive, if we have to be sort of finagling around rules and everything, in a sense, they have a little bit of control over our message and our tactics.
01:06:36.000I mean, we do concede a little bit by being on the platforms.
01:06:40.000I think it's a smart trade off because you get much bigger reach and much bigger influence, and we can make it work.
01:08:01.000Now, I don't mean to sound like the Riddler there, but it's true.
01:08:04.000You know, will we go off platform and people hear the message, the song of nationalism, unimpeded by these word games and it becomes more compelling?
01:08:13.000Or does losing the reach of the big platforms sort of cancel out whatever benefit you have from not being a part of the rules?
01:08:21.000So now we're just going to go, we will go into the so called shadows of the internet and we will preach without rules, without community guidelines.
01:08:29.000And I don't know if that's something they want.
01:08:31.000So it's sort of a thing where I think if we have the right approach, if we approach this in a smart way, this transition can actually benefit us.
01:08:51.000You banned Alex Jones and it only helped him.
01:08:53.000Yeah, well, maybe it helped him for like a week, right?
01:08:56.000If you look up like Google search trends or whatever at this point in time, you'll see that it was probably like this, right?
01:09:04.000It was probably like people looked up Alex Jones for like a week while he was banned, and then it went back to like where it was and maybe lower.
01:09:10.000And that's not a dig at Alex, but it is just an example of a lot of people have this mentality of you get banned, nothing's going to hurt us.
01:09:19.000Everything's, that actually helped us.
01:09:20.000Well, I don't love that like knee jerk.
01:09:57.000You know, DLive is, I believe, owned by.
01:10:01.000Chinese patriots, and you know, we love China on this show.
01:10:05.000Do we love China on this show, or what, folks?
01:10:08.000I heard, I heard like Alex Jones got banned or something because, like, he didn't get banned for hate speech or anything, he got banned because I think he was talking about like some protest, some like completely astroturfed protest, you know, anarchists in the streets, something like that.
01:10:26.000And I gotta say, he was way out of line talking about that.
01:13:16.000That's just what the decisions were for the awards.
01:13:18.000So I'll read you this is a report here from the Independent.
01:13:22.000It says Joker, an R rated blockbuster, topped the list of Oscar nominations on Monday, becoming the rare comic book film to resonate with awards voters.
01:13:32.000The Best Picture contender earned a leading 11 nominations, but the story of the morning will be the lack of diversity among the leading nominees and the exclusion of female filmmakers.
01:13:47.000It says Joker will vie for top honors at the 92nd Academy Awards.
01:13:52.000With Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Irishman, and 1917, all of which earned 10 nominations.
01:13:59.000There are nine best picture contenders in total, a group that includes Ford vs. Ferrari, JoJo Rabbit, Little Women, Marriage Story, and Parasite.
01:14:08.000In the major categories, it was a list of mostly white nominees, one that will likely inspire outrage, frustration, and pushback.
01:14:16.000Only one person of color, Cynthia Irivo for Harriet, was nominated in the acting categories.
01:14:37.000You know, really good movies, but they just didn't get the credit.
01:14:41.000Only five women have ever been nominated for director, and only one, Catherine Bigelow for The Hurt Locker, has ever won the prize.
01:14:48.000Issa Ray, who had been enlisted to read off the nominees, made a biting nod to their exclusion after the directing contenders were unveiled.
01:14:57.000She said, Congratulations to those men.
01:15:36.000Perhaps anticipating the storm to come, press notes shared by the Oscars took pains to note that a record 62 women were nominated, representing almost one third of the year's nominees.
01:17:12.000I remember me and my friend drove to Joker and we were like terrified because of the hype, you know?
01:17:18.000We were driving there saying, like, I would rather be in Kabul, Afghanistan right now than at the live screening of Joker on opening night.
01:17:26.000So after all of that, it grossed a billion dollars, Libs owned.
01:17:31.000And then now, if that was enough, it comes back in the new year, in the new decade, and becomes a record breaking picture at the Oscars.
01:17:40.000It's the most nominated film out of all the films.
01:17:45.000And historically, one of the most nominated films.
01:17:48.000They're saying it's on par with the Titanic, Ben Hur, like all these ancient classic movies.
01:17:54.000Well, Titanic's not exactly ancient, but all these classic movies.
01:17:58.000And even better than that, hey, make room, sweetie.
01:22:08.000We're going to talk about some real news here.
01:22:09.000I'm going to have a real take about this.
01:22:11.000I don't know if you saw this, but over the weekend there was this.
01:22:14.000Drag Queen Story Hour protest in Australia, in Brisbane, Australia, to be exact.
01:22:21.000And these have been happening actually, increasingly.
01:22:24.000There have been a few in the United States, and this recent one was by this group called the UQ Liberal National Club.
01:22:33.000And so they went into a library where they're hosting one of these drag queen story hours and they started chanting, Drag Queens are not for kids.
01:22:40.000And I saw this, and it, by the way, I mean, this was like sensational on the internet.
01:22:45.000All over Australia, it was all over national media, even in the United States, this small protest.
01:22:51.000And I'll read you the report about what happened.
01:22:55.000So it says, this is from some Angloid source.
01:22:59.000It says, the Liberal National Party has moved to distance itself from a group that surrounded and chanted at two Brisbane drag queens who had been reading to children in a council library.
01:23:10.000A video posted to social media shows members of the University of Queensland's Liberal National Club confronting one of the drag queens, shouting, Drag queens are not for kids at a public children's story time in the Brisbane Square Library on Sunday.
01:23:26.000One of the queens responded, They are so, what is this?
01:23:32.000Okay, so it's kind of like an incoherent response here.
01:23:35.000She said that at the man standing in front of her shouting.
01:23:38.000The UQ Liberal National Club, and by the way, in Australia, liberal means conservative.
01:23:44.000Liberal is like right wing, I guess, in Australia.
01:23:48.000The UQLNC, which was disaffiliated by the LNP in December, defended the protest on its Facebook page.
01:23:54.000They said, Today, the UQLNC took a stand to defend LNP values against a corrosive gender ideology.
01:24:02.000After a ratepayer funded drag queen story hour finished this Sunday, we decided to make a public demonstration against the Brisbane City Council endorsing it.
01:24:11.000We stayed outside the room in which it was being held, waited until the event was over to make our point.
01:24:16.000Did not respond to insults which were hurled at us and left when directed by security.
01:24:21.000Police were called to the library just after midday, but a security guard managed to escort the protesters out before officers arrived.
01:24:29.000The reading was organized by Rainbow Families Queensland and was promoted by Brisbane City Council.
01:24:36.000A Rainbow Families Queensland spokesperson said, The event was a beautiful celebration of diverse families run by two blue card registered and fully trained drag queens.
01:24:46.000I don't know what the fuck any of that means, by the way.
01:24:56.000I wonder who administered the training.
01:24:58.000You know, I have to imagine that perhaps the so called drag queen training was maybe administered in like early childhood by a relative, perhaps.
01:25:09.000The event was beautiful, blah, blah, blah.
01:25:11.000And the children enjoyed singing and dancing, reading and doing crafts.
01:25:15.000Now, I have to tell you, if anything is the future of activism, it's this.
01:25:20.000If anything is the future of Reaction, reaction in the political sense, reaction meaning reactionary against this liberal revolution which has been going on for 300 years.
01:25:45.000For years, the conventional wisdom, I'm talking now about America for the Republican Party, has been that Republicans have lost on social issues.
01:25:53.000If you go to any Republican college Republicans club, if you go to any Turning Point chapter, obviously, which we just saw last month and the month preceding that, if you talk to any Republican congresspeople, the soft consensus is that Republicans have lost on social issues.
01:26:10.000They will say that they're in favor of traditional family values, they will say they're in favor of traditional Christian values, but they will not campaign on them.
01:26:20.000They will not argue or push back against liberal morality or lack thereof.
01:26:26.000Liberal amorality or immorality, they won't push back on that.
01:26:30.000And that is because the soft consensus in these circles has been if they're not outright apathetic or not Christian, you know, if they're not Christian, then if they are Christian and they're not apathetic, then the idea is that those are losing issues.
01:26:44.000That at some point between 2012 or 2015, the country is now in favor of total pause, it's in favor of total liberalization, it's in favor of total progressivism, you know, totally against nature and God.
01:26:57.000And if you campaigned against that, you're just losing.
01:26:59.000But I'll tell you, things have changed since 2012.
01:27:43.000And they're wrong because the people on the left have overplayed their hand.
01:27:49.000People might have been willing to go along with like gay marriage, right?
01:27:53.000When that initial push was made, well, I mean, we could argue about when the initial push took place.
01:27:58.000But when the push for gay marriage happened and it was very aggressive and very political and it was all hands on deck from the media and everybody else, People are willing to go along with that, largely speaking.
01:28:10.000They're willing to say, oh, like, I guess, like, as long as it's not bothering anybody, I guess, like, I mean, Ellen's okay or whatever.
01:28:19.000I think that's largely what happened for a lot of middle class, suburban type people.
01:28:24.000But that's not what they're asking of you in 2020.
01:28:27.000They're asking you to be okay with transsexuals.
01:28:30.000They're asking you to be okay with, like, a guy, like, a total guy, like, six foot, whatever.
01:28:36.000And they're not even trying to pass saying, I'm a woman.
01:28:43.000And if you misgender me, you're going to go to jail now.
01:28:45.000You're going to have your life ruined and so on.
01:28:47.000They're asking something completely different of people.
01:28:50.000They're asking you to be okay with going to a children's library and seeing a grown man dressed up like a woman doing a lip syncing dance routine that is totally sexualized in front of six year olds.
01:29:04.000They're asking you to be okay with nine year olds going on hormone replacement therapy and being chemically castrated because they like.
01:29:22.000The only reason that they're not being crushed because of this right now is because we are not on the offensive.
01:29:30.000But if more of this starts to happen in the country, more opposition, more protests to drag queen story hours, more protests of chemical castrations, hormone replacement for young people, this kind of thing, If Republican congresspeople made this a wedge issue in their campaign, we would start killing it in terms of electoral politics.
01:29:52.000We would start killing it in terms of the narrative.
01:29:55.000Because this is something that is so offensive, so obviously, intuitively, instinctively offensive and insulting and repulsive to most people, to normal people, that the left cannot win on something like this.
01:30:11.000This is a symptom of the largesse, the complacency of the left.
01:30:15.000They do, in fact, control so much of our society.
01:30:19.000They control academia, they control the media, they control the government, they control the bureaucracy, they control the schools, but they don't actually control the masses.
01:30:29.000They don't actually control everybody's minds, but they think that they do.
01:30:33.000Because they've had sort of uncontested sway over cultural attitudes, and it's really been uncontested for like eight years, but really could go back like 50 years.
01:30:43.000We could argue these are semantic details, but because they've had this total control, At least since Obama's second term, they've gotten complacent.
01:30:54.000And they've been so aggressive at pushing this stuff before this new generation, which has been inculcated with it from birth, has come of age that they don't realize that people are not on board.
01:31:05.000Maybe they do, but they're going to push it anyway.
01:31:08.000And so, whereas Republicans are campaigning and they're sort of soft on it, or they're like maybe five years behind this or whatever, if they turned it around, and for example, you had a Republican congressperson in Iowa who made that a campaign issue, ran a campaign ad with Drag Queen Story Hour.
01:31:24.000You know, all these pictures that you've been seeing on Twitter for years, like these demonic drag queens, literally with horns, drag queens exposing themselves to children.
01:31:34.000If they show video of, what's that guy?
01:31:39.000These child drag queens, Desmond is amazing, dancing for dollar bills at gay bars.
01:31:45.000If they ran that on an advertisement aggressively in Iowa and made that a wedge issue, they would get huge electoral success because people are seeing this and they're pissed.
01:31:56.000But nobody wants to talk about it because they are stuck in this old paradigm.
01:32:00.000And that's maybe part of the reason, you know.
01:32:27.000And you think demographics are bad, and I don't mean to minimize demographics, but you think demographics are bad, or like gun control is bad, or anything like that?
01:32:36.000Not to say these other issues are not important, but think about the fact that they are trying to destroy the concept of gender itself.
01:32:44.000You know, you could argue that maybe like the first thing a society should do is reproduce itself.
01:32:50.000You know, men and women getting together, pair bonding, having children.
01:32:55.000You could argue that's like the first priority of a civilization, of a group settlement.
01:33:02.000And they are trying to destroy that, take that away, destroy man and women, the distinction, destroy traditional relationships like this, you know, having children as the basis of these kinds of relationships.
01:33:14.000That is arguably the foundation of everything, the family unit, and what binds the family unit together, but the complementarity and the integrity of the male and the female gender, of the man and the woman, being socialized as men and women, biologically expressing themselves as men and women, identifying as men and women, and within.
01:33:36.000Marriage within that, you know, you could call it a construct, whatever, within the holy union of marriage and having children.
01:33:46.000There's nothing more important than that.
01:33:48.000If we make that back, if we put that back at the center and make that the nucleus of the platform, I think that would be revolutionary in the conservative movement.
01:34:02.000You know, a lot of people have been talking about Groyper Wars, and don't get me wrong, there's like a phase two of the Groyper Wars planned, but I think.
01:34:08.000The evolution of this would be to take it to Drag Queen Story Hours.
01:34:12.000You know, I think we were already seeing March for Life has been very successful because there's another thing.
01:34:18.000You know, you will find a lot of young people who are not even ideological, but instinctively they know that killing babies is wrong.
01:34:25.000You know, you could see that being pro life is one of the most popular conservative issues even for Generation Z because it's timeless, because killing babies is never cool.
01:34:36.000Even if the media says it is, no matter what, it's something that's Horrible.
01:34:40.000And that's why you see March for Life is huge.
01:34:42.000That's why you see that that kind of thing is the bread and butter of conservatism.
01:34:47.000I think a lot of bad actors in like GOP Inc. and Conservative Inc. I think they abuse that.
01:34:53.000You know, I think they trot out somebody that's pro life in name only, or they use that to get other subversive policies, but nevertheless, it's huge.
01:35:02.000And this is another one of those issues.
01:35:06.000I think, in the same way, opposing this would be huge.
01:35:09.000And it is something that would bring people into the fold about some of these bigger ideas about what it means to be a moral person, what we want as a society, what is the public good, you know, what kind of society we want to live in and raise children in.
01:35:23.000It brings us back to a family based perspective, a family based lens.
01:35:28.000And angle from which to perceive society.
01:35:33.000Maybe people are not willing, you know, when the argument, as it was made in 2010, is like Westboro Baptist, you know, fuddy duddy old people who are offended by like two guys kissing.
01:35:44.000Could you imagine such a thing versus like, you know, Glee and Lady Gaga?
01:35:48.000Well, you know, okay, contextually, where's a young person gonna go?
01:35:53.000The media and what other young people are doing, whatever, all these fuddy duddy haters.
01:35:57.000Well, in 2020, where are they gonna go with these like, Freakazoids, these freak shows, drag queen story hour, what is obviously wrong to be exposing to children are on the side of God, on the side of militant, pro, not militant in the sense of like armed, but you know what I'm saying, very, very assertive pro family organizing, pro family activism.
01:36:28.000This is according to the same source that says the head of the University Liberal National Club that Did this protest, has died.
01:36:36.000The club president, Wilson Gavin, was one of a group of people who stormed the Drag Queen Storytime event.
01:36:41.000He took his own life on Monday morning.
01:36:44.000And, you know, this is sort of an aside, but what do you think happened to all these kids that showed up to Drag Queen Story Hour to protest?
01:36:50.000And by the way, to protest respectfully, you know, they showed up.
01:36:53.000They didn't even enter into the event.
01:36:57.000They waited for people to walk out and they chanted at them.
01:37:00.000And these people were saying terrible things to the protesters and they didn't respond to the insults.
01:37:04.000When they were asked to leave, they left.
01:37:07.000And the media, of course, immediately doxed everybody involved.
01:37:10.000You know, of course, you had some scumbag rat journalist with a camera in everybody's face and then posted on Twitter, okay, Twitter, do your thing.
01:37:28.000They try to make it out like, oh, all these disaffected, so called marginalized groups just can't walk outside every day without being called the N word or the K word.
01:37:39.000Or the F word, or the S word, or the C word, or you know, the B word, or the W word.
01:37:44.000You know, they can't walk outside the street without being like run over by a Dodge challenge or something like that.
01:38:08.000But in any case, it just goes to show the real battle we're fighting here.
01:38:12.000Young people taking a stand against like pedophilia, basically.
01:38:17.000People that are exposing themselves to young people, these deviant, weird people.
01:38:21.000And I don't care what you, you know, for the sake of community guidelines, I don't care what you think about drag queens, if you think it's funny or whatever.
01:38:28.000No matter what you think about drag queens, even if you're a liberal, even if you're the most hardcore progressive liberal, drag queens are not for kids, obviously.
01:38:37.000You know, I don't think drag queens are for anybody, but even if you think that's entertainment or whatever, it's not for six year olds.
01:38:43.000And it certainly doesn't belong in a public library, right?
01:38:47.000And for going there and saying the obvious, these people get their pictures plastered everywhere, I'm sure, doxxed, their addresses included, harassed, threatened, so on by the whole world.
01:39:02.000I've seen so many stories like this after Charlottesville, all kinds of different things where people take their own life or horrible things happen.
01:39:09.000And it just serves to remind you that the press is the enemy of the people.
01:39:37.000You know, notice in all these community guidelines, while we're on the subject on YouTube and on any platform, they will protect against hatred for everything except for Christianity, whiteness, and right wing political views.
01:39:52.000If you're short, dumb, ugly, retarded, if you're in a wheelchair, if you're black, if you're Muslim, Jewish, if you're Jewish, if you're a Zionist, if you're Jewish, if you're in a wheelchair, if you're Jewish, it's all protected.
01:41:30.000Because all day long we hear in the national news media, we've allowed them to set the moral standard that the worst thing you could be is intolerant.
01:41:39.000The worst thing you could be is not nice, insensitive, right?
01:42:10.000They don't just say they're pro choice, they say they're pro abortion.
01:42:14.000You know, it used to be the argument was, well, it's all, if you're in a bad situation, like it's better if a doctor does it than in an alley.
01:42:22.000That's not what they're saying anymore.
01:42:23.000Not like that's, you know, a good thing, but that's not even what they're saying anymore.
01:42:26.000Now they're saying, get many abortions, get as many abortions as you want.
01:44:01.000You've got people with mansions that have addresses, by the way, millionaires, multi, multi millionaires, because they have built algorithms that will lure in and trap children into watching lewd sexual acts, manipulating how their brain works.
01:44:30.000But at a certain point, we as a society must say that, uh, killing babies, getting children addicted to pornography, chemically castrating children, landing people in hell, eliminating people's chances at salvation, insulting God is worse than being insensitive.
01:45:27.000I don't care about being called whatever, because there are Millions of babies being aborted.
01:45:32.000I don't care about that because millions of people are on drugs because they're depressed, because their parents are divorced, and they're addicted to pornography, right?
01:45:45.000You know, so call me whatever you want.
01:45:46.000But that is the only way that we can win by completely reversing and making the case, making a compelling, assertive case for our worldview from our worldview and not from theirs.
01:45:58.000So I see this drag queen story hour stuff.
01:46:02.000A young man who I think actually was homosexual, even, but he even, as a homosexual, saw that this was wrong, who took his own life because the media did all this stuff.
01:46:12.000And it just goes to show who we're dealing with and what the message has to be.
01:46:16.000The minute that we start participating in this war, we will win it.
01:46:20.000We have to first realize that it's a war, you know, that it's not a team sport where, you know, we're all on the same team and we're all in this together and, you know, we're all going to hold hands and sing kumbaya.
01:46:30.000The minute we reject that idea, And we realize that you've got two irreconcilable factions in the country of people that are okay with everything I've just listed and people that are not.
01:46:43.000Until you realize that these two factions are irreconcilable, that there will be no compromise, and that they hold mutually exclusive positions, you realize that that is a definition of a war.
01:47:38.000You know, that's what we're talking about.
01:47:40.000That is not everybody coming together and finding, you know, some kind of common thing and we're all bleeding red, white, and blue.
01:47:47.000That is, at a certain point, the liberal elite will hold a gun to your head and say, This is going to be the society, and you're going to like it, and you're going to participate in it, and you're going to be okay with it, and you're going to talk like this, and you're going to act like this, and you're not going to question it, and so on.
01:48:02.000And the minute we realize that that's a paradigm, we're going to pull out our gun, you know, metaphorically, metaphorically, rhetorically, it's symbolizing, you know, politics, symbolizing like assertive rhetoric, assertive policymaking.
01:48:17.000We're going to pull out our piece, and we're going to say, No, bitch, you're coming with us.
01:48:22.000Excuse me, no, we're going back, we're going back, back before the French Revolution, and you're coming with us, you're gonna be okay with that.
01:48:31.000Metaphorically, metaphorically speaking, you know, not advocating for violence, disavow, you know, any violent actions, any, you know, real weapons being wielded, and I'm talking about the pen.
01:48:41.000I'm talking about words, ideas, I'm an ideas kind of a guy.
01:48:45.000But the minute, in other words, but the minute that we realize that it is a conflict, and one tried to subdue the other, and we start acting like it, We can turn the whole ship around.
01:49:26.000We gotta grease the wheels at the America First Machine, okay?
01:49:31.000Gotta get some lemon juice to grease the wheels here, alright?
01:49:35.000Because Super Chats are gone, and it's like, you know, why am I even sitting here reading about poo and whatever if the wheel is not being greased?
02:02:24.000So, when I hear that, it's like this political stuff is necessary.
02:02:29.000But what's happening with the God situation, if my followers are converting, if they're joining the church, if they're becoming Christian, this is what matters.
02:06:56.000I would probably, yeah, things like that.
02:06:59.000I would probably do, I would probably focus on like pronatal economic policy, pro family economic policy, shutting down immigration, and downsizing the foreign wars.
02:07:09.000So, similar to like what Trump's doing, I guess, on the foreign policy front and also on the trade front is probably what I would do.
02:09:18.000I'm going to be investing lots of money in funeral homes, stocks in these publicly traded funeral home companies because, man, they're going to have so much business that's going to be flooded with arrivals, flooded with business.
02:09:33.000They're going to have people overflowing outside the doors, they're going to be holding outside funerals in the rain.
02:09:39.000Funerals on the roof, in the parking lot, because there are going to be so many, because so many people are going to say, I doubted Nick.
02:12:11.000So, if you're planning on dropping a lot of lemons and you don't have a lot of money, save it so you can subscribe maybe for something else.
02:12:20.000Hypothetically, if something came around and you want to subscribe to it and that's what I'm counting on, that's maybe what you should not subscribe here.
02:13:33.000You know, do what you're comfortable with.
02:13:36.000And I've told people in the past, like, There's always a risk when you join a group, when you do activism, whatever, that there's whatever.
02:13:42.000You could be doxxed and don't do it if you're not prepared for that and so on.
02:13:48.000You know, so I've always said, only do what you're comfortable with.
02:13:51.000So I'm not telling everybody, everybody must be an activist.
02:13:58.000If you're comfortable with it, you know, if you're in a position where if you did blow up on media, that it wouldn't affect you too badly, you know, if you have like a young family and you have a very tenuous job, like obviously, no.
02:14:11.000But if you're in a position where you think you could afford something like that, if you're in a position where you're comfortable, and be very judicious about this, you know, particularly young people.
02:14:20.000Young people, I would say, think long and hard about it because young people, they get out there and, you know, they don't think about long term consequences.
02:14:27.000I know because I went to Charlottesville, right?
02:15:15.000Artificial dislikes, artificial engagement from leftists and other people as well.
02:15:21.000You know, they were literally like streaming during my show on the Drunken Peasants and telling people to go brigade my live chat and my dislikes and so on.
02:16:05.000If you don't want to get doxxed, you really can't say anything that would be incriminating online, like any personal details, anything in a Discord server, anything in a Slack chat, anything in a Group DM on Facebook, Twitter, anything like that.
02:16:20.000You really got to cover all your bases.
02:17:11.000We're going to do a last call for Ninja Geeties, then we'll call the night.
02:17:15.000I think tomorrow the system that we'll do is we'll have Streamlabs or potentially something else, but I will work on it tonight and tomorrow.
02:17:24.000The problem is, and I've explained this, but it's hard to articulate verbally, but the way it works on DLive is it only shows so many alerts and notifications in my activity feed.
02:17:39.000Usually on YouTube, It shows all the super chats throughout the whole show from the beginning until the end.
02:17:44.000With DLive, it only shows like the most recent, like 10 messages.
02:17:48.000It's like it's only the most recent ones.
02:18:59.000So, we're going to start streaming tomorrow at 8 o'clock for the Democratic debate.
02:19:03.000We'll stream the debate and then I'll give you my live analysis and I'll take a break and then I'll come back for live analysis and reaction and all of that.
